The last show of Solvang Theaterfest’s 2025 season, One Night of Queen, will perform live at the resort’s Samala Showroom
Staff Report
Solvang Theaterfest has announced that their final concert of the 2025 season, One Night of Queen, will be moving indoors to the Samala Showroom at Chumash Casino Resort for the Friday, Nov. 14, event.
“As we watched the weather projections shift, we realized for the safety of our guests, our staff, and the performers that we couldn’t keep the show as planned,” said Chantel Green, Executive Director for Solvang Theaterfest, which operates Solvang Festival Theater. “We reached out to the only venue who might be able to accommodate a sold-out event with two days’ notice
— the Chumash Casino Resort — and they saved the show. Literally!”
“The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians has been a long time supporter of our iconic theater and annual arts programs, and we are incredibly grateful for their partnership throughout the years,” Green said. “This is going above and beyond. We are so thankful to the tribe and to the leadership team of the Chumash Casino Resort for their hospitality, and for giving us a place to go in our time of need.”
One Night of Queen is a special two-hour tribute show dedicated to the stage theatrics, showmanship, and music of Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame members Queen. Performed by Gary Mullen & The Works, the band features Gary Mullen on vocals, David Brockett on guitar, Billy Moffat on bass, Malcolm Gentles on keyboards and Jon Halliwell on drums.
Showtime for One Night of Queen is 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m. The Chumash Casino Resort is located at 3400 East Highway 246.
